Founded in 1881, Chocolates Valor has a rich history of producing more than 22,900 tonnes of chocolate every year. Specializing in chocolate bars with high cocoa percentages and various other products, Valor is committed to sustainability. Sonoco's GREENCAN recyclable paperboard package, made of 92-98% paperboard, aligns perfectly with this commitment.

The GREENCAN package offers a range of barrier properties and comes in various shapes and sizes – round, square, rectangular, oval, oblong, or triangular. With an integrated paper lid, the entire package can go through household paper recycling streams without disassembly, contributing to a reduction in plastic waste.

María Roldán, technical purchasing specialist at Chocolates Valor, stated, “Beyond compliance with the 2030 agenda, we strive every day to move towards more sustainable materials and to reduce our environmental impact throughout the production process. The GREENCAN packaging solution is perfect for us. It’s fully recyclable, made mainly from cardboard and generates almost 0% plastic waste, which ultimately contributes to reducing the company’s environmental footprint.”

David Vilanova, sales manager at Sonoco Consumers Europe, added, “Over the years, our collaboration has been characterized by a shared commitment to core values, trust, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Together, we aim to bring about positive change through sustainability, and we believe that our GREENCAN technology is part of the key to achieving this goal.”
